Complete Guide on What to Wear to a Wedding – 3 Part Series, Part 1
Wedding season is upon us once again and while it is certainly a joyous occasion, we might find ourselves a little stressed out about what to wear. The etiquette surrounding wedding guest attire sometimes gets a little tricky—is a cocktail dress appropriate for a casual daytime wedding? Are pants suits suitable for a semi-formal evening wedding? In a time where almost anything goes, is it still considered inappropriate to wear white to a wedding if it isn’t your own wedding?
We’ve considered all the questions and uncertainties surrounding wedding attire and compiled a comprehensive guide to appropriate dress for weddings. Discover ideas for dressing for day weddings compared to evening weddings. From informal, to semi-formal, to formal, become inspired by looks appropriate for all formalities. Your personal knowledge of the bride and groom and the location of the wedding will certainly be essential pieces of information when shopping for wedding attire but we hope this wedding guide can offer further inspiration in your search for the perfect wedding outfit.
This article is divided into three segments: 1)Informal Daytime Weddings and Informal Evening Wedding; 2)Semi-formal Daytime Wedding and Semi-formal Evening Wedding; 3)Formal Daytime Wedding and Formal Evening Wedding. Visit Sparkleshelf.com tomorrow to read the second segment on the ‘Complete Guide to What to Wear to a Wedding.’
1. Informal Daytime Wedding
While a wedding invitation might call for casual or informal attire, it’s best to not equate this to something you would wear everyday. Though informal, a wedding is still a significant occasion and your daily jeans and tees do not fit the standards. When dressing for an informal daytime wedding, think office appropriate. A nice pair of dress pants or knee length skirts are perfect pieces for informal daytime weddings. Summer dresses in more casual fabrics such as cotton or linen, as opposed to satin or chiffon, are also great choices for informal daytime weddings.

2. Informal Evening Wedding
Just as in informal daytime weddings, work appropriate attire is good to consider when dressing for an informal evening wedding. Slacks are still great for informal evening weddings. In the day, you might pair slacks with a flowy, pastel colored summer top and in the evening, you can go for tops in darker shades like violet or burgundy. Also, accessorizing with more jewelry can transform a day look to an evening look. Skirts and dresses also work the same when transitioning from day to night. Keep the styles and fabrics casual but try darker tones and accent your outfit with bolder accessories.
